"Midnight"

Wails of disbelief,Swell out of midnight,Clouds of purple and grey,Mix with sweat,And libations of blood,As grief,Coursing through constricted veins,Drains a crimson river,Down brown skin,Encasing a fainting heart,Eyes glazed over,Hands up,Grasping for hope,Settling on the horizon,That is the Sun,Longing for warmth,On brown skin,Again.
